The Throne of Grace
“Lord, lift thou up
the light of thy countenance upon us”
Psalm 4:6
Prayers of godly ones have been uttered throughout the ages and are eternal. His own of every generation have breathed this prayer, in one form or another, unto the Lord our Shepherd. Often these words are inspired in times of sorrow and testing. There are times when tears become the simple language offered to our great God. He who bears the title “man of sorrows” hears and feels the heart throb of His Own. His heart is near to those who in absolute trust and hope lift their eyes to the only One who can bring Light and Life into every situation.
“Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and we may find grace for timely help”
Hebrews 4:16
We have the privilege of drawing nigh unto The Throne of God; a Throne so high that all must bow in its presence, yet one that is available to the broken, the lost and the weak. Here the broken are mended and the lost are filled with a new determination and purpose. Let us worship the One who made this Throne accessible!
“And when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having harps, and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints”
Revelation 5:8

You know Brian, you are one of the very few bloggers that doesn’t mingle the Truths of the Kingdom with the things of the world. Your blogs are always focused on things above.
I really appreciate that. Not only do you speak life, but you speak to the more abundant Life Jesus came to give us.
The fact is, we are continually surrounded with doubt and death, people don’t need to hear that from christians, we as disciples need to speak life. We need to testify of Gods’ goodness and life that He is always willing to impart to those who believe. And I’m not talking about the greasy grace gospel. It is the Holy Spirits job to convict, and no one does it better than Him.
Blessings
Thank you Stephen.
